Payday update & Lesson learned

It's payday today.  This pay period I saved an extra $250.65, all of the which I am putting into the travel fund.  I've missed updating this the whole month of May and beginning of June.  I was busy and didn't get around to doing my net worth every pay period.  This is bad, because when I finally did my net worth, it looked like I haven't saved anything at all in that time.  Yet I didn't have any major expenses. I looked things over a few times and still can't find any discrepancy to account for thousands of dollars of extra spending.

 

It's frustrating and disconcerting.  I have learnt my lesson.  I will not put off doing a networth (aka finance check) anymore.
